Worthy Travelers

Tulum evokes images of sun-soaked white-sand beaches, chic eco-bungalows and gleaming Mayan ruins. It’s also the perfect base for exploring the vast Reserva de la Biosfera Sian Ka’an to experience the underground worlds of cenotes, or somewhere you might catch a performance by the Voladores (flying men).

Unfortunately, Tulum’s popularity has made it one of the priciest destinations in Mexico – especially during the high season when the weather is reliably perfect – but visitors can still find deals during the off-season.

Expect to see crowds, though, and increased hotel rates that spike around Christmas and spring break.
